Russ

 

Taken me ages to read through all 73pages lol

Seen the cars loads at different shows including the features in the past and love it mate

just love the detail mainly the wiring and plumbing how its all tidy, plus nice power outcome, look forward to seeing more of it at the shows.

 

12.6 and a 125mph

Yes, il be up for it mate..


Many thanks, off for more mapping Tuesday ready for SantaPod next Sunday. See you there if your going.

 

Great

 

That's a very cool road bike but 8k you could and I would buy a second hand mk1 Ford Focus RS.

James

 

The newest model is Ł13k

 

thats great news mate ,more revs will see your times tumble.see you there.

 

Loving the latest pics, looks great.
All the hard work is paying off Luke

 

very nice car and engine. The wihte inside the car looks good!

 

All set for the dyno tomorrow so lets see what we get and raise the rev limit up.

 

best of luck with the mapping,
dont be shy posting up results!!

 

good luck luke, im sure it'll produce some stonking numbers, lets hope your picture and videoing skills have improved

 

Will do

Nothing wrong with my pics, but they will be poor tomorrow as I wont be anywhere near it, im working!

 

Dude


Come for a little trip on Sat to this rolling road day @ EP

 

this is the event im aiming for.... only got to get a new engine bought and fitted first

 

i was only joking luke

 

Nice one mate keep us posted or text me

 

Good luck and enough boost / ignition for Power

 

Its on the dyno now!...

this is all I know

 

I've just read this from start to finish, took some time but was worth it.
This is probably the most well put together car i have seen, and love the attention to detail.
Well done

I'm looking to go zetec turbo in my XR2 is it best to use silver or black top engine as the base?

 

any update fella ??

 

I hope every thing goes ok today with it.

 

Any news Luke?

 

come on luke we need updates

 

I hate it when people go quit on the day of the dyno as it makes you fear the worst!

What was today's result then luke?

 

oooo and what shoes id you see fit to wear to a day on the dyno? pictures of said shoes needed

 

no need all is fine ,but im sure luca will be on soon to tell all.

 

come on luke,
dont be shy!!!!!!

 

They cant be still working on the car surely lol.

 

LOL not shy....


All went well today from the update I received.

We are not sure on the exact/final hp figure but the rev limit is up and we are hitting 2bar and holding 1.8.

Had a few issues to battle against though... the 888s were getting so hot on the dyno due to the temperture today they were melting and sticking to the rollers.

Secondly the temps in the dyno room were upto 36 degrees so the power run saw 390hp.

We will be putting some road tyres on and doing a power run when its cool one morning just to see what its kicking out. We think about 420hp going by the improvemnts.

Also have a map with gear selectable boost to try out which im looking forward too.

 

420 thats not going to be shy

when we used r888's when we mapped my mates nova turbo we had similar problems (last summer at 34degrees ambient in the dyno room) his charge temps were also high at around 50ish after a good while

glad it went well mate

will this be at rs combe???

 

Sounds good. How are you doing the gear selectable boost?

 

Whats the spec of the turbo on this?
GT3076R? .82 exhaust housing?
What fuel?
What boost are you running to achieve 420bhp?

Great results for a tiny fiesta either way. Well done

 

Emerald ecu picks up on rpm v speed.
This highlights what gear you are in, thus giving say 1st gear 40% boost, 2nd gear 50% 3rd gear 70% 4th gear 100% and so on how ever you like.

 

GT3071.82
Vpower
2bar

420hp is still a guess but we were 404hp with less boost.

Once the weather cools a little and I have some friendly dyno tyres we will have a more accurate figure.

 

I think you'll see more than 420, melting tyres and 36 degrees is rediculous conditions to try and map a car.

Good luck next time.

 

Thats 1 sweet engine bay

 

99.9% agree

all apart from that chav tastic wiper motor cover thing

i will pay you to get rid of that
